Phonons Podcast 109 Estrato Aurora

Through meditation and distant oriental promises, I reach for a fragile peace, letting the noise of urban life dissolve into silence.
In that hush, a forest stirs: sap and shadow, the echo of drums older than language.
But the vision fractures.
Shamans emerge clad in chrome, their chants braided with circuitry. Mechanical rites ignite beneath a sky of fractured satellites and pollution, a cyberpunk liturgy where smoke is replaced by static, and comfort arrives in the strange glow of the synthetic.
What began as an escape becomes a mirror: nature and machine entwined, an apocalyptic communion where solace and dissonance share the same breath.

Josep Berruezo "Berru" (@dj-berru) is a Barcelona-born DJ and curator who helped shape the city’s underground techno scene with his Estratechno collective in the early 2010s. Performing as Dj Berru, he blends Detroit-inspired techno with ambient, dub, and hypnotic textures, crafting dark, machine-driven sets that invite a deeply psychedelic dance-floor experience, while his second alias, The Option B, offers a more colourful and nostalgic selection. Berru now curates Club Aura, uniting LAUT (@laut_barcelona) and Casa Montjuïc for extended-journey sets, sonic experimentation, and immersive video art.

HOCast #258 - Dj Berru

One of the most special things about curating this series is the opportunity to connect with like-minded, beautiful souls from around the world. Among them is none other than the lovely DOC, whom we warmly welcome to the series <3

If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting DOC, or even briefly chatted with him online, you’ll know just how deeply passionate and supportive he is about the music he loves. He carries a special, contagious energy that inspires those around him and resonates throughout his artistry as a gifted selector, producer, and curator of the incredible Selene Series / The Continuum podcast.

Today, we are deeply honoured and grateful to share a very special improvised live recording, generously gifted to us by DOC and his machines.

With music, we are always searching for a familiar feeling or experience - a kind of warm, comforting nostalgia - and we find it here, within this beautifully woven, abstract tapestry of sound.

Thanks David <3

Obscure Echoes: 037 [Perpendicular 2025]

It’s our pleasure to feature our friend @tangeladj for the 32nd episode of the Herbarium mix series. She put together a magical trippy yet playful mix, we’re in love with its dynamic.  🌳

Here’s a little insight into Tangela’s choice of a plant as a synaesthetic base for her mix -
Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) or kallara as referred to by the Bundjalung People in Northern NSW is a particularly special native tree. They grow in swampy environments next to bodies of water. I have fond memories soaking in tea tree lakes in the northern rivers, stained brown by the leaves stewing, precious oil seeping into the water. For centuries the Aboriginal people have used this plant for medicinal purposes as a natural antiseptic and tea tree lakes were often sacred women’s spaces used in birthing ceremonies. This shrubby tree doesn’t scream for attention amongst the vibrant flora but its significance runs deep, a swampy healer and spiritual protector. This mix is a sensory soak in the soothing, tingly river, dripping with kallara magic.

About Tangela 

Tangela’s style of aural storytelling is as distinct as it is varied. She guides the listener through deep, subby, subterranean worlds, encouraging listeners to float up through spacious, textural soundscapes full of unexpected turns, all with a nimble and playful touch. You’ll find yourself wondering how it is you got here from where you began.

Tangela’s meteoric rise through the underground scene finds its origins in her weekly radio slot on Sydney’s iconic FBi radio 94.5FM, currently in it’s fifth year of broadcasting all things “squelchy, wobbly, gooey, twisty”. Her signature style has translated from the airwaves to dance floors across many of Australia’s cult clubs, DIY warehouses and bush raves, including her own as founder of both dstreet and Minutiae Festival. Her record label Oomycota pushes into the experimental realm of techno, platforming emerging artists from Australia and beyond. 

Alongside curating and throwing DIY events, she is heavily involved in her local community, organising ‘Dance Class’, a series of BIPOC & FLINTA DJ workshops and radio mentorship.

Herbarium No 032 - Tangela - Melaleuca Alternifolia

Continuum: a coherent whole characterised as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

The setting is Mostra festival, a special gathering in Barcelona that needs no presentation for the lovers of experimental sounds, ambient explorations and avant-garde dancefloor beats. A dark room inside the Fabra i Coats industry complex -now turned a cultural space- is slowly filling up with devote festival-goers. Mostra attracts a crowd of curious listeners and seasoned music enthusiasts, and feels like a bit of a pilgrimage for fans of those deeper and more adventurous sounds. On Thursday during the early hours, there is a sense of reunion, a loving community that finally gets together again to see familiar faces, and a very welcoming bunch greeting the first time comers. 

And Maribel Tafur was soundtracking this magical moment. She stepped up to play the first notes of the festival and start colouring the blank sonic canvas of this Mostra weekend. The Peruvian composer, based in Barcelona, borrows from nature -particularly from the Andes and her family archive- using found sounds and other field recordings, and weaves them with selections of warm pads and ambiences. 

The result couldn’t be more fitting: Maribel welcomed us to Mostra with a soundtrack that channeled the feeling of that warm hug and that invitation to come in and sit down, because we are home. The sounds of water creeks, rustling leaves of fire crackling mixed with comforting soundbeds made for a perfect first stroke for this year’s Mostra painting. 

And we couldn’t be more honoured to share the recording with you today. All the friends that follow this channel know how special Mostra is for us. 

Thank you Maribel and Mostra.
